As the UK's national weather service and trusted advisor to the UK Ministry of Defence, we work closely with professional partners across defence, both in the UK and internationally.

Our operational services are underpinned by an in depth understanding of the atmosphere, developed through decades of scientific research offering effective support to military decision makers.
